At the core lies an international working group with roots in the 2011 political movements, including main organizers of Occupy Museums, Gulf Labor, Free Artists Hungary, and Living Memorial. By “rebranding“ the dead “Laiki“ bank, the working group which included its initiator Noah Fischer, as well as Raúl Hott, Nurtane Karagil, Csaba Nemes, Joulia Strauss and “twenty three”, opened a window onto the global financial situation from the specific political and economic conditions experienced on Cyprus.
